ORIGINAL POSTERhow much does Visa on arrival cost for australian, and do you need a photo printed out or do they want a photo on your phone 
TLDR : Answer Summary
Australian passport holders do not require a visa on arrival but instead receive a Visa Exempt entry stamp for 30 days at no cost, which can be extended for an additional 30 days for a fee of 1,900 baht. Immigration staff will take a photograph of you upon arrival; no printed photo or photo on a phone is necessary. If staying at a hotel, a TM30 form will be handled by the establishment.

There is no such thing as a visa on arrival for Australian passport holders, you will get a 30 day visa exempt stamp free of charge on arrival with the capacity to extend it one time only for another 30 days for 1,900 baht

There isn't a visa on arrival for Australian passport. They are given an exemption and enter for 30 days with no visa. This can be extended for extra 30 days at immigration.
